Hi Nat,

I recently noticed a few devices that didn't work out of the box
(mostly laptop touchpads for me, but also a few keyboards).  The
solution for me has been to install udev (apk add udev), start it and
set it to auto-start (rc-update add udev && rc-update add
udev-postmount && /etc/init.d/udev start && /etc/init.d/udev-postmount
start).  IIRC, some of the main developers were thinking about
enabling by default (correct me here if I'm wrong ncopa/nenolod).

As for the ssh disappearing, more than likely it's because apk wasn't
able to find a local copy of the apk .  After you've enabled apk
caching, run the 'apk cache sync' command, which will download a local
copy of any installed apks to the apk cache directory.
